"I'm just asking casually, you don't have to be in such a hurry." Huo Yunqi turned around and left. When he reached the door, he turned back and looked at Jiwei with a more speculative look. "Take good care of him and call me if you need anything."
Since he is his son, of course he should take good care of him.
Early the next morning, a bombshell exploded in City C. The news on the front pages of all major mainstream media outlets was that Huo Yunqi had an illegitimate child. There was a photo of Huo Yunqi hurriedly holding the child in his arms. He ran out of the apartment, followed by Jiwei who was wearing home clothes, looking like a family.
"You allowed it?"
In the CEO's office, Ye Shaochen, who was sitting on the sofa, was holding coffee in one hand and stretched out two slender fingers with the other hand to twist the newspaper on the table. However, he became more and more confused about Huo Yunqi's thoughts. If it hadn't been for him With secret permission, it is impossible for this kind of news to appear in these newspapers so brazenly. Unless the newspaper company does not want to gain a foothold in City C, no one will rush to offend Huo Yunqi.
Huo Yunqi lit a cigarette, leaned on the black leather boss chair, and exhaled a puff of mist. There was murderous intent hidden in his lazy voice: "Since someone wants to cause trouble, wouldn't it be a spoiler if I don't add fuel to the flames?"
Only by turning the water over can you find out what dirty things are hidden underneath!
"I understand what you mean, but Luo Bing..."
Ye Shaochen frowned and took a sip of coffee. His eyes could not hide the worry. He could see that this time, Huo Yunqi was serious about Xia Luobing, but one thing after another caused the two of them to grow apart. personal distance.
"Why don't we postpone the wedding first? Let her buffer for a while?" Ye Shaochen suggested hesitantly.
Winter afternoons always get shorter, but at 4:30, the sky outside has begun to darken, and there are no lights in the office. The expression on Huo Yunqi's face is so blurry that people can't see clearly, but his voice is extremely clear. He came over with unquestionable determination.
"cannot!"
This is the only way he can keep her by his side. He wants to keep her as her person first, and then slowly get her heart back!
It has to be this way! It can only be like this!
Ye Shaochen fell silent. The coffee in the cup had cooled down. In the dark office, the two of them sat quietly, without anyone speaking.
In the evening, when Huo Yunqi came home, everyone was there, obviously waiting for him, which was good.
"Brother!" Huo Yunxi stood up and greeted him first, reminding him in a low voice, "Dad is very angry. Please tell him!"
Although Huo Yunxi was angry with him because of Ji Wei's incident, she was the closest eldest brother after all, so she still couldn't bear to see him get scolded!
Huo Yunqi nodded, the ice in his eyes showing signs of melting.
"Dad, Mom." Huo Yunqi sat directly on the sofa wearing his coat, leaning back slightly with a lazy expression, "Just tell me if you have anything to do!"
"Clang!"
Huo Zhengxiong hit the marble floor hard with his crutch. The heavy sound stung his eardrums, but Huo Yunqi didn't seem to hear it. Even the curvature of the corners of his mouth did not change at all.
"Yun Qi, what happened to that woman in the newspaper? And that child, is it really yours?"
Liu Yan ignored the old man's anger and looked at Huo Yunqi eagerly, eagerly waiting for her son to explain clearly to her.
Looking at the child in the newspaper, he is already two or three years old, and he might even be called grandma.
Thinking of this, Liu Yan said anxiously: "If it is really our Huo family's child, we will definitely..."
"Are you sure you want to take it back?" Huo Yunqi interrupted Liu Yan and said coldly, "If all the children in the world come to call me daddy, will our Huo family open a welfare home?"
Liu Yan was startled when she heard this. She looked at this son who had never understood him in surprise and hesitated: "You said that child is not?"
Huo Zhengxiong's face softened and he glanced at Huo Yunqi, and said seriously: "It is not the best to investigate this matter as soon as possible. If it is true, bring the child back! How can the children of our Huo family be left alone!"
"No!" Huo Yunxi interrupted anxiously, staring at Huo Yunqi, his fingers trembling with anger, "Brother, if you bring that child back, what will your sister-in-law do?"
Liu Yan glared at Huo Yunxi and complained that she shouldn't mention Xia Luobing at this time. Wouldn't it be better if the child was from the Huo family and it could change her son's mind about marrying Xia Luobing
"Don't worry." Huo Yunqi looked at Huo Yunxi with much softer eyes and said slowly, "No matter what happens, it will not affect Luo Bing and I's wedding!"
"What if that child is really your son?" Huo Zhengxiong stared at his son.
The old man passed away and handed over the company to Huo Yunqi. In just a few years, Huo's scale expanded several times and became the most powerful company in C City. He has always been proud of having such a son. , but over the years, he has become increasingly unable to understand his son's thoughts.
"Even if it is, I can't marry the mother of the child back, right?" Huo Yunqi turned to look at Liu Yan, raising his eyebrows with a lazy look on his face, "What else would Zhuang Xinran do? Didn't she keep saying that the child in her belly was... Is it mine?"
Liu Yan's face froze, and she saw Huo Yunqi's mouth opened, but no words came out for a long time. Her son was right, what if the two children were both children of the Huo family? What to do with those two women? Can’t we all marry them back
"Ahem! Ahem!" Huo Zhengxiong coughed a few times, his face turned red. After a long time, he waved his hands, looked at his son and said, "You have always had your own ideas. I believe you can handle this matter properly!"
Huo Yunqi nodded: "Of course!"
Liu Yan frowned and looked at Huo Yunqi, still a little unwilling: "Your wedding to Xia Luobing..."
Now there are rumors of an illegitimate child, Zhuang Xinran's big belly, and Xia Luobing avoiding the whirlpool and standing outside. This makes Liu Yan not sure what she feels in her heart, but she is quite unhappy anyway!
"Bingbing and I's wedding will be held on time!" Huo Yunqi was determined, with a stern look on his face, leaving no room for negotiation.
This time, no one can stop him and Bingbing’s wedding!
"But… "
"Help me go upstairs!" Huo Zhengxiong stood up with crutches and interrupted Liu Yan's words. After walking a few steps, he looked back at Huo Yunqi and said, "Handle this matter as soon as possible!"
The longer this matter is delayed, the greater the impact will be on the Huo family's reputation, and may even affect the development of the company.
Huo Yunxi's face finally felt a little warm after being cold all night, and he nodded towards the old man, "Okay!"
As long as he makes up his mind to do something, no one can stop him or stop him!
"Brother, you and sister-in-law..." Huo Yunxi said cautiously. She heard from Ye Shaochen that the relationship between the two was very tense, and that Xia Luobing lived alone in a bachelor's apartment.
"I will take care of it!" Huo Yunqi said calmly, his eyes shining firmly.
…
"idiot!"
After seeing the news in the newspaper, Zhuang Xinran smashed a set of crystal goblets, and the crisp sound penetrated the eardrums. All the servants in the banker's house did not dare to breathe, for fear of accidentally offending the eldest lady and getting burned.
"Xinran!" Zhuang Zhenting came down from upstairs and looked at his furious daughter with a worried look on his face, "What's wrong with you?"
Since his wife's death, he has always held his daughter in his hands and given her whatever she wants, which has led to him developing such a proud character.
"Dad!" Zhuang Xinran looked a little unhappy, turned around and sat on the sofa, gritting his teeth, "I will never give up! Absolutely not!"
Huo Yunqi is the man she likes, and other women would be wishful thinking if they wanted to marry him!
"It seems that you have already seen the newspaper. There is already a big whirlpool around Huo Yunqi. Why do you have to plunge into it?" Zhuang Zhenting looked at his daughter and said worriedly, "Dad is worried about you..."
Zhuang Xinran stared at the newspaper on the table, threw it to the ground angrily, and said angrily: "It's just a scandal! What's the big deal!"
"What about you?" Zhuang Zhenting's gaze fell on his daughter's swollen belly, his eyes searching.
Zhuang Xinran was startled when he heard this, feeling a little guilty, but it only lasted for a few seconds, and he quickly put on a face of persistence: "Of course the child in my belly is Huo Yunqi's!"
Zhuang Zhenting sighed softly. He had been in the mall for so many years. Why didn't he understand his daughter's thoughts? It’s just that this kid’s obsession is too deep!
"The wedding date of Huo Yunqi and Xia Luobing has been set, do you want to continue it?" Zhuang Zhenting couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw his daughter's stubborn look, "Xinran, let it go! Huo Yunqi doesn't have you in his heart, and you don't want to go ahead with it?" Why waste your feelings?"
According to the status of the Huo family in City C and the excellence of their daughter, it would be easy to find any kind of husband. Why do they have to have Huo Yunqi
Seeing Zhuang Xinran biting her lip and not speaking, Zhuang Zhenting patted his daughter on the shoulder and continued: "Dad admits that Huo Yunqi is very good, but no matter how good he is, as long as he doesn't have you in his heart, he will not be happy even if he gets married. ! Xin Ran, do you really want to stake your life’s happiness on it? "
"Dad!" Zhuang Xinran stood up suddenly and looked at Zhuang Zhenting with red eyes, tears falling down, "I like Huo Yunqi! I just like him! He is the father of the child in my belly, I must marry him Give it to him! He can only marry me!"
After saying these words in one breath, Zhuang Xinran ran out without looking back. Zhuang Zhenting sat in the living room and seemed to have aged ten years suddenly. He murmured: "Xinran, dad is worried about you getting hurt!"
The afterglow of the setting sun shines into the luxurious living room, and the crystal fragments on the ground reflect the last remaining light, making it sad and mottled.
Zhuang Xinran drove to the Jinhao Hotel. When she saw the rosy woman in the room, she gritted her teeth angrily, rushed up and slapped her hard: "Bitch!"
The woman suddenly covered her face and fell to the ground unsteadily. She looked at Zhuang Xinran in disbelief and said angrily: "How can you hit someone!"
"What's going on in the newspaper?" Zhuang Xinran stared at the woman on the ground and gritted his teeth, "Jiwei, please don't tell me that everything is just a coincidence!"
The woman with bleeding mouth and swollen cheeks was none other than Ji Wei. Ji Wei came to Huo Yunqi with her child!
"I, I..." Jiwei rolled her eyes, trying desperately to make up a reasonable reason, but unexpectedly her thoughts had all fallen on Zhuang Xinran's eyes.
"You're already worried about waiting to take the 10 million I gave you!" Zhuang Xinran sat on the chair with one hand on his stomach, staring into Ji Wei's eyes, gritting his teeth, "Do you want to marry Huo Yunqi? "
